Area residents still struggling with Tropical Storm Harvey Recovery will have an opportunity to explore new services next month.

HOPE NOW and Navicore Solutions are bringing together disaster relief program providers, federally-approved nonprofit housing counselors and other local resources to help homeowners that may be facing financial difficulties, according to a news release from the ground.

The event will be hosted from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Westside Development Center, 601A Ransom Howard Dr., in Port Arthur, on May 11.

The event also features a new reimbursement program with up to $30,000 of financial relief for qualified families, along with more than 10 nonprofits.

“This is a great opportunity for families looking for answers on their housing situation and hurricane assistance,” Eric Selk, HOPE NOW Executive Director, said in the release. “We’ll have many local non-profits, disaster relief program providers and other resource providers on site. We’re really excited about the counselors who will be able to help with program applications.”

Homeowners unable to attend are encouraged to call the Navicore Assistance Line at 1-855-230-8161
